Time for stickers. London to US?

So...I had the interview on Friday...and the CO said definitely not a no but to wait for the doublecheck. We'll hear next week. I'm hoping to get an offer very soon and to start work in Welly in 6-8 weeks. Is that a feasible timeline for getting approved, paying the levy and sending all the residual passports and getting them stamped and back to the US? I know the answer in YMMV ( your mileage may vary)...but I'd love to hear from recent residents getting residency from London...

I think it's likely if nothing unexpected happens. My timelines were:

2 weeks from interview to official approval
3 days to send passports from US to London
2 weeks from arrival in London to getting the stickers placed
3 days to ship passports back

So just over 5 weeks total processing/waiting time.

Cool. Thanks!
